women who decide to become a homemaker have to realise that this decision should be based on the importance that they give to taking care of their home, husband and especially children being greater than the importance that they give to their possible career. in which case, she would not feel that she's wasting her education by not pursuing her career. she would feel that she's achieving a lot more by bringing up her children properly. her decision to stay at home should not be made because she's a female and that's what is expected of her.
if a woman is capable of achieving sth of more importance in their career, then the couple would have to share the responsibility of taking care of their home and bring up their children. it is unfair to expect such a woman to give up her career and waste her education to stay at home and take care of her home and children, if the same is not expected of men.
taking care of the house, bringing up the children, and bringing in the income for the household. these are all the different responsibilities that have to be shared by a couple. a woman should not be forced to take up the responsibility for taking care of the house and bringing up the children just because she's female.
and today's working couples have to learn to balance all their responsibilities. a working woman should not be expected to solely take care of the house and the children on top of her office work. the man has a share in those responsibilities too.
